Brett Gardner's Power is overrated in this game. Is anyone else...

[underdog13]

For the record, Gardner has hit 17 and 16 homeruns in 2014 and 2015

Gardner was just an example, my 2nd post goes more in depth with my opinion on the entire pwr rating and its current status within the game

20 is within the realm of possibility to be a legit number. Even if he hit 50 you could just say he is this year's Brady Anderson.

I have hit 3 HR’s through 14 games with Brett.

Every single one has been at home into the porch in RF with a strong wind blowing out.

I expect to hit 12-15 with Brett max in a season.

I am not jumping to any conclusions until I see my final season stats.

I remember on 16 with Brock Holt I belted 4 HR’s in a month with him.

He finished the season with 5.

Play to the All-Star break first. Baseball has outlier seasons too you know. You must allow a large standard deviation (70-80 games) before you can come to conclusive “there is an issue” with this.

In fact......if it was rampant I would be worried. But it is not. He is having a hot start.

Embrace it.

Thank you. It’s not unreal he is off to a great start and will cool off and revert to his “mean”.

Happens all the time in baseball and on The Show. It’s why I love this game so much. They replicate the game unlike no other sports game in the genre.

Based on these numbers, than he should be about a 50 power rating.
Brett Gardner's average for last 3 years is 13.33 (17, 16, 7 HRs in last 3 seasons respectively)

54 power is a little inflated, but its less vs lefties and thats where you will probably not hit as many.

Him hitting 20 in a year is within the realm of possibility and sometimes thats just the way it goes.

I'm having the same but with Ellsbury not Gardner! Through April 26th in my franchise Ellsbury has 8 home runs (maybe 9)

It seems SCEA uses slugging% to assign the power ratings, Gutierrez has 90+ power because his slug% the past 3 years are .503, .620 and .452 which are elite but he played 41, 59 and 98 gms so they should have considered that it was on a small sample size and regress those numbers a little.
